Ed Schultz: Obama was so right, people really do “cling to their guns and religion”

posted at 4:01 pm on June 8, 2012 by Erika Johnsen

Good grief, Mr. Schultz — what is this, China or something? Heaven forbid anybody believe in anything that subverts their loyalties away from the all-enlightened state or union group-think! Via Weasel Zippers:

Yeah, those dumb rural Americans! Gov. Walker affords Wisconsinites the opportunity to escape mandatory public union membership, which they then do in droves, but it’s because… er, Gov. Walker thinks the budget is out of whack, and corporate interests are able to pull the wool over everybody’s eyes because people love their guns and religion too much? I’m not sure I follow. Yes, I am sensing a disconnect here — amongst Schultz’s populist ravings.

Ed, a self-promoting opportunist, has changed his views from conservative to an Obama-loving ultra-leftist. Clearly he did this for self-promotion and profit, garnering a huge msnbc salary and hundreds of thousands of $ in speaker fees also.
This man, Schultz, is a bloated traitorous buffoon who is always groveling before the enemies of the good folk.

Golly, those liberals surely despise the faithful. What possible evil could be in the hearts of those who despise God’s people and are obsessed with taking away the firearm protection of innocent civilians?

Is there ANYONE more offensive than this pig cretin? I don’t think so. He’s not even remotely believable as a legitimate “pundit”, there’s something so undeniably CRAZY about his thinking. He puts the exclamation point on left wing lunacy. I’m glad there’s not much on NBC that I enjoy watching because I simply can’t support a network that gives this fool a voice.

I heard today, don’t know if it was true or a joke, I was half listening to the radio, that on Tuesday night Fox’s ratings were down and MSNBC’s were up.

I so enjoyed watching this chubby knucklehead trying not to weep.

No need to worry. You have to put those ratings into context. Many of us turned over to MSNBC hoping to see them melting down. It’s not like any sane person was tuning in for their fine political insight.

Few would admit if they were.

The way some write though I wonder. Especially when they start quoting what was said by Ed or Madow.

On May 2, 2011, bin Laden was shot and killed inside a private residential compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by U.S. Navy SEALs and CIA operatives in a covert operation ordered by United States President Barack Obama.

This is what the “news” has descended to. Long gone are the days of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley. Now, decent, hard-working Americans are criticized and mocked for voting for the right people and things. Ed Schultz should be transported to Venezuelan television where his views would be more in line with his god, the government.

Thank you for finally catching this. Some stations who carried Schultz’ program went off the air recently due to very poor ratings. MSNBC is the only way Mr. Ed can earn a living doing what a five year old does, go on an immature rant when things don’t go his way. Who pays his salary and bills? Some very wealthy leftists who want taxpayers to pay their lifestyles including Soros.

What I find ironic in the whole “bitterly clinging to religion and guns” debate, is that as a Christian I’m supposed to cling to Jesus and God!

1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.

–Psalm 63:1-8

The fact that Obama can make that into a slur against me tells me all I need to know about Obama’s “faith”.
